YouTube’s biggest name—Jimmy “MrBeast” has naturally become a household name in the online scene. He is the most subscribed YouTuber on the website with over 340 million subscribers. Before MrBeast (and T Series), Felix “PewDiePie” used to be the most subscribed YouTuber. Currently, he has 110 subscribers, which makes him the 9th most subscribed creator on the platform.

As far as their net worth comparison is concerned, MrBeast is believed to be the first-ever billionaire to come out of YouTube. According to celebritynetworth.com, his estimated net worth is $1 Billion. In comparison, PewDiePie has an estimated net worth of $45 million. While there is a stark difference between the two numbers, it’s worth noting that PewDiePie currently has more of a sedentary online career, while shifting his focus to his family.

MrBeast draws his net worth from various sources. Reports state that he signed a $100 million deal with Amazon to sell the rights to his Beast Games. He generated over $223 million in revenue during the fiscal year 2023 and is expected to surpass $700 million in 2024.

While the topic of popularity can be quite subjective, if it is judged by views, then it’s clear that MrBeast is the more popular name. Not only does he have three times the subscriber count but MrBeast also garners way more views—typically over 100 million. PewDiePie doesn’t enjoy the same popularity these days and gets between 1 to 2 million views.

Since they are internet celebrities, their comparison should also focus on their social media presence. MrBeast currently boasts 63 million followers on Instagram, while PewDiePie has just over 20 million. Jimmy also has 31 million followers on X, compared to PewDiePie’s 515K. However, PewDiePie is inactive on the platform.

Who Has the Most Viewed Video on YouTube Between the Two?

MrBeast is renowned for creating large-scale production videos that require substantial investment. His most-viewed video on YouTube, $456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!, has garnered over 687 million views. This project alone reportedly cost more than $3.5 million to produce.

Most of PewDiePie’s viral videos come from his reaction or gaming uploads. However, his most-viewed video on YouTube is the YouTube Original titled LEVEL 7 | I’M NOT CRAZY (OUTLAST IRL GAMEPLAY), which has over 133 million views.

Despite MrBeast surpassing him in most metrics, it’s important to note that PewDiePie’s peak years are now behind him, while MrBeast is currently at the height of his career. Felix is also known for his laid-back approach, preferring to spend quality time with his family these days.
